Now you can go out and eat an entire meal of roasties should you so wish, and nobody can judge you. In fact, you will look kind of fancy.
Tatties giant McCain is opening a pop up ‘roasteraunt’ in London at the Old Truman Brewery, and it really is about time…

It will be up and running from 8 to 10 December, serving over 100,000 various roast dinner combos – I seriously didn’t realise how varied roast dinner could be.
The eclectic menu has been put together by Jim Thomlinson, who has previously worked at Michelin starred restaraunt La Trompette.
You can choose from an exciting range of food items, from pigeon with chocolate smothered onion rings to beef brisket with a fried egg and charred pineapple. You can then serve yourself from a giant platter of classic McCain roasties.
